Antique Scherenschnitte Cupid antique linen I think he's really fantasticHard to imagine a more lovely valentine than this antique cut paper cupid with wonderful silhouette and finely done bow and arrow pointing straight toward his own name, a charming example of the art of Scherenschnitte, which always makes me marvel! Cut of white paper and adhered to tan (natural colored) light weight card, just right, perfect for popping in a small frame just as it is. Very good antique condition. 2 1 2" x 2 5 8".
